Bill Summary

Providing that a quarter horse permitholder and an alternative representative organization may agree to an alternative schedule of performances; establishing the requirements for electing an alternative quarter horse representative organization; requiring an applicant to include a written agreement with an alternative quarter horse representative organization, if such organization exists, in their application for a slot machine license, etc.

AI Summary

This bill amends Florida's laws regarding quarter horse racing. It allows a quarter horse permitholder and an alternative representative organization (designated under new Section 550.3342) to agree to an alternative schedule of live racing performances, rather than the minimum number of performances previously required. The bill also requires applicants for slot machine licenses or cardroom licenses who are quarter horse permitholders to include a written agreement with either the Florida Quarter Horse Racing Association or an alternative representative organization regarding the payment of purses on live quarter horse races. This provides more flexibility for quarter horse racing in Florida.
